Tiwi Designs

Tiwi Designs is an Aboriginal-owned art centre located in Wurrumiyanga on Bathurst Island in the Tiwi Islands, Northern Territory. Established in 1969, it is one of Australia's oldest Aboriginal art centres. It is known for distinctive Tiwi screen-printed textiles, ochre paintings, carvings and ceramics that reflect Tiwi culture and stories. The centre operates as a working studio, gallery and retail outlet where visitors can meet artists and view contemporary Tiwi art.

Visitors can expect a working art studio and gallery set within the Wurrumiyanga community on Bathurst Island. Inside, artists create and display screen-printed fabrics, ochre paintings on canvas and bark, wood carvings, ceramics and prints featuring Tiwi designs and natural ochre colours. Visitors can watch artists at work, browse the gallery and shop for authentic artworks and textiles, usually as part of an organised guided tour with cultural interpretation.
